Cause

By default, Adobe Flash Security prohibits locally stored SWFs from accessing external resources to prevent malicious content from being downloaded to your local machine.

  1. Right-click inside the SWF file and choose 'settings'
  2. Adobe Flash Player Settings dialog will appear.
  3. Click on 'Advanced' within the Privacy tab
  4. Your default web browser will launch and take you to Macromedia's Settings Manager
  5. In the Settings Manager, click on'Global Security Settings Panel'
  6. Make sure that 'always Allow' is selected
  7. Click on the dropdown box and choose 'Add Location'
  8. add: 'C:\' (without the apostrophes)
